| Abstract The Two false doors which have been considered as the subject of this article are stored in the Egyptian Museum at Cairo, Room 37, under numbers JE 44633 and JE 44634, respectively. The first belongs to xAi and the second to HakAw. The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Cairo contains many false doors that have been discovered in the Memphite Necropolis. Some of them are exposed at the Cairo Museum, and others are conserved in storerooms. The false door of xAi and HakAw are listed on PM III, 306. This research aims to study, discuss, and analyze these two false doors that are conserved in the storerooms. It has been discovered at Giza during the scientific expedition of Harvard University, headed by G. Reisner (Harvard-Boston Expedition) in 1912. To date these false doors, the study will focus on analyzing the iconography as well as deciphering and translating the hieroglyphic texts of the false door. | ||||
